Common name: Wild Cherry `Star Seedling`
Our Royal Horticultural Society Wild Cherry `Seedling` (Prunus avium `Star Seedling`) is a clone of our native cherry species, selected for its vigour, speed of growth and resistance to diseases such as bacterial canker. In autumn, the shiny green hedge leaves turn a beautiful orange, pink or red before falling. The pure white flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as the new leaves. Wild cherry bark is smooth purplish-brown with prominent horizontal grey-brown lenticels on young trees, becoming thick dark blackish-brown and fissured on old trees. It thrives in any ordinary soil.
